An All-College idea
OK, here’s my idea for the All-College. Bedlam. A doubleheader. Women, then men. OU-OSU. OSU-OU.
Cowboys vs. Sooners. Sooners vs. Cowgirls. At the Ford Center, a few nights before Christmas.
Basketball in this state needs a serious surge of energy. Bedlam would do it. The coaches want no part of it, of course, because coaches don’t want to be placed under any pressure. Tough.
A December game between the Bedlam rivals would shine the spotlight on basketball and would be good for the teams, too. Both schools have plenty of games that are virtual scrimmages, although Stephen F. Austin certainly took a chunk out of that theory. But playing games that matter, playing games that could go either way, would refine the squads every year.
The coaches wouldn’t like it. But sometimes coaches have to be overruled. Sometimes coaches have to realize that this sport, believe it or not, is bigger than they are. college basketball is suffering from paralysis pre-New Year’s. A Bedlam All-College would solve that problem.
